Ok, I'm the first! I have no idea what happened.. I just sure hope you aren't stopping coz somebody said something mean to you. I hope you get better physically, emotionally... I really hope you don't stop blogging...and I hope you were joking when you say you deleted 211 posts!Hugs and kisses!!

I've been worried about you. Totally meant what I said in my e-mail. While it sucks right now - you'll end up benefitting in the end (in one way or another). And you deserve it - I wish you could skip this part.

Yehaw... Helloo VMama...good to see you again..! Dig you feel the love {hugs} welcome back :-)

You know I like to sing when I get happy so every body join me in a chorus of the Candy Man...but instead of Candy Man substitute Vodka Can... ready... who can take the sunshine...sprinkle it with dew..covered it in olives and ice..oh what the vodka can do...

wasn't there a way to just make the blog private? or make the previous posts hidden and then start anew? deleting that many posts- wow. heartbreaking. but hey, before we had blogs we used our memories and that was always good enough.

I was hoping you'd pulled your posts for a happy reason, such as a publisher's insistence. It appears that isn't the case. (A piercing glimpse into the obvious?) Dammit, there are too many small minded people around, y'know?

i had the most amazing comment in my head evar. it was beautiful and was going to make you weep with joy and love.

and then i scrolled down to click on "post a comment" and came across this fun fact:

"Even if the stomach, the spleen, 80 percent of the intestines, one kidney, one lung, and virtually every organ from the pelvic and groin area are removed, the human body can still survive. And even if 80 percent of your liver were removed, the remaining part would continue to function. Within a few months, the liver would have reconstituted itself to its original size!"

and my brain couldn't process anything else. i don't get the part about the stomach... so you'd be living on machines?

I thought I heard the cheering right over here - The chink of glasses in offering Martini toasts, and I was right, you are here, back among us, spreading wit, wisdom and downright winsomeness...

Love you, love the Vodka, sod the posts - We have them all engraved on our hearts anyway, darling VKMom... The way you sip your drink... the way you wear your hat... No, no, they can't take that away from me.

Ahem.... now, Mrs. Smith, I am soooo glad to see you back. The hole in the blogosphere was vast with you gone. I hope you told "whoever" where they could stick your blog.... I'm just happy you returned! :-)

Uhoh...now my panites are started to get in a bunch...did I read correctly That Somebody Else deleted your post! That it wasn't you...OMG the rage I would feel wouldn't come across as needing a vacation...(I'd be doing time for that vacation) HOLLY MOLLY hopefully I am wrong here!

I almost fell of the couch and dropped my cocktail when I saw an update in my reader. I was concerned about the post about the backstabbing lady you bartended with and thought this might be connected to you leaving us for several sad, lonely days. Free speech- you were not hurting anyone with your stories and we know you change names/sexes/ages to protect the innocent. I'm so tired of all the 'Politically correct'BS. You are relieving stress in a high stress/low paying job. I hope whatever fucktard messed with you was lynched buck naked on a public street.So there, sew buttons on your underwear.

This is what I like to see. This is what I like to see. And by the way- Karma is a bitch. And what goes around, comes around... so someone might be screwing with you now, but we both know they deserve to be screwed themselves then.

Dearest Vodka Mom,I love love love your blog. I lurk here all the time, I don't comment often.. I'm not witty like you. But I will tell you this - I know laughter is the best medicine, and it's good for the soul. so I come here everyday, because you lift my spirits, every day. I love your stories of your day to day happenings. I wish I knew who broke your spirit, so I could go kick their ass! Please don't leave us, and don't delete your posts anymore.

Don't forget to tip the waitress. I really DO live on tips....

Cause I know you want to buy stuff...

About Me

I am a teacher, a writer, and the mother of three children. I've decided I'll never give up.

I love to laugh, believe that every day is a new day, and thank God each morning that I am still here.
